Eucalyptus - Silver Dollar

Overview

• Silver Dollar Eucalyptus is an aromatic filler with a long vase life (it lasts for weeks!).
• Its large rounded leaves make the perfect background for a boutonniere and add fullness to a bridal bouquet.
• Each stems has multiple sprigs to work with, the stems are long, sturdy and durable. 
• Use it on centerpieces, backdrops, table runners and so much more! 

Number of Stems

• Growers Bunch - between 10 and 15 stems
• Average stem length: 15 to 20 inches
• Leaf shapes, sizes and color may vary depending on the time of the year.
• Depending on the time of the year, the leaf shape will vary from being diamond shaped to being round and circular.

• Recipes are made to be tweaked, but here is a general rule of thumb for quantities of eucalyptus: 

  • Bridal Bouquet: 1/3 bunch
  • Bridesmaid Bouquet:  1/4 bunch
  • Boutineers:  Sprigs
  • Corsages: Sprigs
  • Centerpieces: 1/4 bunch
  • Large Arrangements: 1-2 bunches

• Give everything a fresh cut (about 1 inch off), at an angle, with your snips and put them in fresh water. With greenery you don't have to worry about crowding the same way you do with flowers.  
• Remove any leaves that fall below the waterline of your containers, doing this will help prevent the growth of mold or bacteria which could cause premature wilting.

QUALITY

• Your greenery will arrive looking thirsty and sleepy. This is absolutely NORMAL
• Since flowers are a product of Mother Nature, the exact color tones and leaf shape of the greenery may vary to some degree.
• IMPORTANT ** Not every stem will be perfect. I follow the 5% rule, meaning that out of 100 stems, 5 stems may break while unpacking, look a little too mushed, etc. Don't let this stress you out! It's totally normal and to be expected when dealing with fresh/live product.
